Year 6 had a great week thinking about our Enterprise project. We worked together to come up with a range of ways to fundraise. After we decided on two ideas we used the computers to create posters to advertise our different events. We also looked at applying for a job on Shackleton's expedition to Antarctica. We had to think about levels of formality to ensure our applications would be considered.

Year 6 had a debate about if turkeys should be eaten at Christmas. We got in role as a turkey and thought about how we would feel. We also practiced our songs for the Christmas cracker and filmed it at the end of the week. We are looking forward to seeing the finished product this week!

This week Year 6 have learnt lots about e safety. We thought about what reliable information is and how we can tell if the information s is true or false. We also thought about keeping ourselves safe and not meeting others online and how if we have any worries we can speak with an adult. We also looked at anti bullying and the difference between bullying and banter. We thought about how banter can turn into bullying.

This week year 6 have been learning about microorganisms in science. We discovered that they can be both good and bad microorganisms, like mould and penicillin. We then decided on an investigation to see what makes mould grow fastest. We came up with a range of ideas including how temperature, light and dampness would effect mould growth. We are now going to monitor the bread for the next week and measure mould growth. We all also made predictions about what we thought would happen.

This week in Year 6 we have carried on our World War II learning. We thought about why children were evacuated during the war and what this would have felt like. We realised that some children will have enjoyed this experience whilst others will have just wanted to go home. We then wrote postcards in role as evacuees. After this, we looked at a range of propaganda posters. We discussed the messages from the posters and who the posters were aimed at. We used the propaganda posters as inspiration for our own posters. In English we have carried on the story of The Harmonica, focusing on writing descriptions. We have tried to include lots of descriptive features in our writing.

Year 6 have had a great few weeks learning all about World War II. Class 13 and Class 14 enjoyed a World War II day. We got to look at artefacts and we had to guess what they were, we made some great guesses. We also experienced life as an evacuee, we thought how we would feel in this situation, even experiencing an air raid. We had great fun using a Morse code machine! In Topic, we have since looked at: the countries involved in the war, the leaders of these countries, important dates in World War II and have started to create our own collage books (that look like evacuee labels).
''Creating our own secret messages was so much fun! No one could guess mine.'' Eesa
''My favourite part of the day was when we had to go under the tables due to an air raid.'' Salahur
